Subscription
|
The undersigned (the “Purchaser”) hereby irrevocably subscribes for on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from SyntheMed, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), the number of shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), set forth on the signature page hereof (the “Purchased Shares”). The Purchased Shares are being sold to the Purchaser in consideration for $0.05 (US) per share (the “Subscription Price”), and as part of an offering (the “Offering”) of up to 120,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”). If the maximum number of Shares offered is sold, the Corporation will receive gross proceeds of $6,000,000 (US). There is no minimum number of Shares being offered, and the Corporation reserves the right to accept or reject subscriptions, in whole or in part, as and when received. Xxxxx Capital Limited (the “Agent”) is serving as a non-exclusive placement agent for the Offering pursuant to an agency agreement to be entered into with the Corporation (the “Agency Agreement”).
The Offering is being made to investors resident in the United States, Europe, Canada and elsewhere pursuant to exemptions from local registration, prospectus or similar requirements. The Offering is being made in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance upon Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.
The Purchaser understands that the Corporation has entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Pathfinder, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“Pathfinder”), pursuant to which the parties have agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the Corporation will acquire Pathfinder in a stock-for-stock reverse triangular merger (the “Merger”), with Pathfinder surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. As part of the Merger, the Corporation will issue to the members of Pathfinder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to approximately 80% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company after issuance (the “Merger Shares”). Upon consummation of the Merger, the management and directors of the Corporation will be replaced by individuals designated by Pathfinder, and the Corporation’s resources will be devoted primarily to the business of Pathfinder. For a detailed discussion of the Merger and Pathfinder’s business and financial information, as well as pro forma financial information reflecting the Merger, reference is made to the Form 8-K of the Corporation filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 28, 2010 and the preliminary proxy statement of the Corporation initially filed with the SEC on February 15, 2011, as subsequently amended, relating to the Corporation’s planned special meeting of stockholders for the merger and related proposals (as well as the definitive form of such proxy statement filed with the SEC in advance of such meeting (the “Merger Proxy”)).
Upon the Merger, the Corporation shall change its name to Pathfinder Cell Therapy Inc. and the Purchased Shares shall be issued to the Investor by the Corporation as Pathfinder Cell Therapy Inc. rather than SyntheMed, Inc.
In lieu of paying the subscription price in cash, Purchasers may, if applicable, elect to pay the Subscription Price by tendering to the Corporation promissory notes previously issued by Pathfinder to such Purchasers evidencing debt in like principal amount, such notes to be duly endorsed or assigned in blank.

Closing and Delivery of Share Certificates
|
Delivery and sale of the Purchased Shares will be completed (the “Closing”) at the offices of the Corporation (or such other place or places as the Corporation and the Agent may agree) at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) (the “Closing Time”) on such date or dates as the Corporation and the Agent may agree (each a “Closing Date”). The Final Closing (as defined below) is expected to occur on or before August 31, 2011. As used herein, “Final Closing” means the date on which the full amount of the Offering is sold or the earlier termination of the Offering period as determined by the Corporation.

The Closing contemplated by this Subscription Agreement is conditional upon (i) the Merger having been consummated and (ii), if and to the extent requested by the Agent, the members of Pathfinder prior to the Merger having executed and delivered lock-up agreements restricting sales and other transfers of the Corporation’s Common Stock received by them in the Merger for such period of time and on such other terms as the Agent shall request.
Certificates representing the Purchased Shares will be delivered at Closing, or shortly thereafter, against delivery by the Purchaser of the requisite funds by wire transfer. To avoid the need to relegend the Shares following effectiveness of the planned resale registration contemplated by an investor rights agreement to be entered into by the Corporation and the Investor (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), the Purchaser agrees that delivery of the Purchased Share certificates may be made to counsel for the Agent, who will, upon effectiveness of the registration of the resale of the Purchased Shares, deliver the Purchased Share certificates in accordance with instructions received from the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may at any time request physical delivery of a certificate for Purchased Shares, provided that any such certificate delivered prior to effectiveness of the resale registration statement will bear a restrictive legend as set out in Section 5(k) below. Moreover, if the resale registration statement is not declared effective within 90 days of the date of the Final Closing (or 120 days if reviewed by the SEC), counsel for the Agent may, at the Agent’s option and in accordance with the Agent’s instructions, cause the Purchased Share certificates in its possession to be endorsed with such restrictive legend and delivered to the respective Purchasers.
The Purchaser, on its own behalf or on behalf of others for whom it is contracting hereunder, hereby appoints the Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney and agent with the full power and authority in its place and stead to swear, execute, file and record any document necessary to give effect to the delivery and sale of the Purchased Shares, to terminate this subscription on its behalf in the event that any condition precedent to the Offering has not been satisfied, to execute a receipt for the Purchased Shares and all other documentation, and to modify or waive any conditions or grant any waivers on its behalf in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser, on its own behalf or on behalf of others for whom it is contracting hereunder, agrees and acknowledges that counsel for the Agent shall not be liable for any error in judgment or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith or for any mistake, in fact or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing with the performance of any obligations in this Section 4, except arising out of its gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
